Distinguished Speaker Series | Dry Tortugas: Stronghold of Nature with Ian Wilson-Navarro
An immersive journey into the stunning beauty, rich biodiversity, and fragile ecosystems of Dry Tortugas National Park, this presentation and accompanying book combines captivating photographs with insightful narratives to highlight a remote archipelago that has profound ecological significance.
Accessible only by seaplane or boat, located 70 miles west of Key West and part of UNESCO’s World Network of Biosphere Reserves, the park includes seven enchanting islands and—with 99 percent of the park being underwater—a treasure trove of marine life. Through the lens of conservation photographer Ian Wilson-Navarro, readers will discover lush seagrass beds, vibrant coral reefs, and mesmerizing turquoise waters that are difficult for the public to visit.
